Laylas Green Tomato Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the green tomatoes on the baking sheet, stem-side down, and place under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat. Broil two to five minutes, until charred. Using tongs, turn the tomatoes over, and grill on the other side for two to five minutes, until blackened. Remove from the heat. When cool enough to handle, core the tomatoes and remove the charred skin. Quarter and place in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade (I prefer the blender).
• Add the remaining ingredients, except the water, to the blender or food processor, and blend to a coarse or a smooth puree (to your taste). Transfer to a bowl, taste and adjust seasonings, and thin out with water if desired. Allow to stand for 30 minutes or longer before serving to allow the flavors to develop. You may wish to thin out after it stands.

Steps:

• Stir the first 7 ingredients and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Set the salsa verde aside. Place the lamb in a 15 by 10 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Rub the minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes all over lamb. Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde over the lamb, turning the lamb to coat evenly. Use immediately, or cover the dish and remaining salsa verde separately with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the lamb until a meat thermometer inserted into the thicker parts registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 40 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a work surface and let rest 15 minutes.
• Cut the lamb across grain into thin slices. Arrange the lamb slices on a platter. Serve the remaining salsa verde alongside.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high. Add tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and garlic; cook, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred on all sides, 20 to 30 minutes (garlic will be done after 10 minutes).
• Peel garlic. (For less heat, halve and seed jalapeno.) Cut tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno into chunks and place in a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

Steps:

• Combine green tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers, salsa mix, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a large pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 hours.
• Ladle hot tomato mixture into clean pint jars. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Seal and refrigerate.
